Have a Dreamcast? It is Still Alive!! Tons of Homebrew games and Apps!

I saw this on Digg today. I've known about this site (and many others like it) for a long time. I still play games on my Dreamcast, it kicks ass.

I got a Dreamcast at EB Games for $19.99 and I can't believe how much you can do from it.
